Real estate rights
Property ownership is the legal right to possess, use, and dispose of something, whether land, buildings, or other assets.
This concept forms the foundation of real estate law and much of economic activity.
Ownership may be held individually, jointly with others, or through entities like corporations and trusts.
Property ownership comes with both rights and responsibilities, including tax obligations.
The specific rights attached to property ownership vary by jurisdiction and type of property.
